The Lonely Mary

Genesis Mary Hart, a 50-year-old woman from America, experienced a sense of solitude every evening upon returning home from her job as a librarian. With grown children and a shrinking social circle, she sought companionship and discovered a website offering paid chat services. It was there that she met Alexei Ivanov, a 35-year-old freelance writer from Europe. Initially, their interactions were informal and businesslike, but gradually, a genuine bond developed. Alexei's warmth and humor brought happiness to Mary, while Mary's kindness and intellect fascinated Alexei.
